93,

 

Got rid of most of the rheumatism, but acquired a chill instead. Expect to get back to Paris Tuesday. Thursday. Serpent [Israel Regardie] comes out Wednesday and we can get to work. Mme de M [Maria de Miramar] came here Sunday to help look for a place here. N[o] G[ood] so far; Americans have sent 'em all insane about prices. Hopes of one house at 8000 fr for 6 months. Possibility for March 21. Serpent won't be able to get about much for 2 months, the quack says. By issuing Magick [Magick in Theory and Practice] in 4 parts we save 12% luxury tax! One more hard-to-believe. I wrote a wire this A.M.—as always, in capitals, with dots to divide the words. And the man said the dots counted as words!!! Yes, Horatio. And inquire for yourself Thomas!
